Music And Buildings, Songs and Structural Soul

SINCE I CREATED THIS BLOG AND LOOKED INTO THE MUSIC AND BUILDINGS IDEA IT HAS GROWN AND MOVED HERE GO TO MYSPACE.COM/SONGANDSTRUCTURE FOR THE FULL MUSIC AND BUILDINGS EXPERIENCE!

Taj Mahal vs Kashmir

Pompidou Centre vs Daft Punk

Centrepoint vs Another Brick In The Wall

I have been surrounded by building designs my whole life, visited numerous construction sites on my dad's shoulders and taken it all in without thinking.

Design has lived with me naturally through my years, and since I have recently developed my songwriting I have been looking for and finding parallels between songs, moods, and architectural designs....buildings. A building can have a musical soul and I want to start some random gibbering about it!

Are you a musician, a song writer, a band member, or just a music lover, who can associate the feelings that come within certain songs to buildings? Are your own songs inspired by buildings? Or even structural objects (bridges, sculptures... whatever you like).

If yes, please join in and add to this list! And it doesn't have to be serious or over intellectual (unless you want it to be). If the local portaloo inspires you then so be it!

Please add your association on the myspace, or write with it to songandstructure@hotmail.co.uk

Cheerio,
Karim
